Rokeby Resources (ASX:RKB) announced the acquisition of the Omeo Gold Project, a high-grade asset located within a 5.8km mineralised zone.
The project, which includes the Maude and Sunnyside deposits, is being hailed by the company as a transformational step underpinned by substantial exploration upside and historical resources.
To fuel the venture, Rokeby has secured firm commitments to raise $4 million through a strategic placement to sophisticated and professional investors.
Technical data released by the company highlights the extraordinary potential of the site, particularly within the Sunnyside Area.
Historical drilling results have yielded staggering grades, including a standout intercept of 0.4m at 900 g/t Au and 1.3m at 243.4 g/t Au.
The Maude Area has also shown exceptional promise, with drilling intersecting 2.3m at 31.1 g/t Au, featuring a high-grade core of 0.7m at 91.7 g/t Au.
The figures demonstrate a high-tenor gold system that remains open for further discovery.
With the capital raising complete, Rokeby is prioritising an aggressive exploration programme.
The Sunnyside deposit has been identified as a high-priority target, with drilling scheduled to commence as soon as permitting is finalised.
At the time of reporting, Rokeby Resources’ share price was $0.0050.
